Welcome to Bonus Sunday. From Thursday's Divers at Disneyland post, here is the complete Fall/Winter 1978-79 issue of Vacationland.
Vacationland Fall/Winter 1978-79 - 90mb
Mickey will be 81 on Wednesday!
The Egg House looks fun, so does Movieland Wax Museum!
Things that make you go "hmmmm"
At one time you needed a reservation at the Golden Horseshoe. I’m guessing this was back when they actually had waitresses that brought you food you ordered from a menu like this one (link) from Stuff from the Park. This reservation card is undated, the style is similar to the menu and the Pepsi logo suggests it’s from the 1970’s. The code on the bottom right makes no sense at all to me…
How about a short game of “Before and After” with the Golden Horseshoe’s next door neighbor? Again from the wonderful “Stuff from the Park” blog, here’s the Oaks Tavern from 1960.
The Tavern gave way to the Stage Door Café in 1978. This photo from last week shows the changes over 49 years. Some elements are identical (how cool is that!) and there are some significant changes. Here’s my big question; what happened to the wooden porch? Not only is it gone, but did the ground actually rise or did the building get lower?
Happy Friday the 13th!
It’s finally that day you’ve been waiting for so come “Join in the fun” because it’s Divers Sunday at Disneyland, November 12, 1978. Looks like those wacky Divers had their IQ10 Convention at the Disneyland Hotel November 9th thru the 12th, with the big Disneyland Party on the last day. 
The fall of 1978 was also Mickey Mouse’s 50th birthday (November 18th to be exact), maybe that’s why he is on the Divers flyer too? This Fall/Winter 1978-79 Vacationland celebrates Mickey 50th in grand style, with lots of great Mickey pictures. I know for myself, I tend to forget, “it all started with a mouse”.
Since its “Disneyland’s” Vacationland magazine, there’s plenty of stuff about the park. Some day I need to take the tour, I bet that would make an interesting trip report. 
I let out a loud sigh when me eyes went to this photo, I sure do miss the old PeopleMover. Check out the guy on the left in the very back – what is with those clothes? 1978 is no excuse to look like that!!!
Bring back the American Egg House too! This area is currently under-utilized to say the least.
To read the rest of these articles and the rest of the Fall/Winter 1978 Vacationland, come back on Bonus Sunday. Happy 81st Birthday Mickey Mouse!
